River Outpost is the ninth map of the Ascent of Egypt Learning Campaign, and it teaches the player to use transports.
Scenario Instructions
“ | The power of our armies and religion has stabilized our frontiers for the time being. The Nubians to the south remain a threat, however, although subduing them is too expensive to consider. As an alternative, the pharaoh has ordered that a river outpost be placed on a strategic Nile River island to discourage Nubian raiders from coming down river. Locate the large island in the center of the river to the north and build a Town Center and two Guard Towers there. | ” |
Objectives
- Locate the large Nile Island.
- Build Town Center on island.
- Build two Guard Towers on island.
Strategy
Since there are no enemy villages on the map, you don't need to fear an attack, and you can take your time. Build up your base until you can train Stone Throwers. Build Light Transports, and send the stone throwers over with a few soldiers. Use the stone throwers to destroy the enemy Watch Towers and the soldiers to kill the animals (Lions and Alligators) that could threaten your Villagers. Then, send a few villagers across, to gather the stone and build the buildings to complete the mission.
Alternatively, you can build a some war galleys and priests to take out the watch towers and convert the two you need and not go through the hassle of mining.
Historical Result
“ | The fortress of the second cataract managed to maintain peace in the region for about 300 years. Compared with the history of the United States this period would amount to the time from the sentltement of Jamestown colony in Virginia to the beginning of World War I. Towarsd 1600 BC, the new dynasty that governed Nubia, the cusitas, became stronger enough to defeat the Egyptians and destroy the fortresses. Between 1500 to 1300 BC, there where stronger pharaohs who returned to Nubia and conquered it once more, extendings its dominion until the fouth cataract. | ” |
